    That is a new one. How have Hillary's supporters looted the stock market? Are you actually going to document how the housing market derivatives crisis that resulted in the near collapse of the financial system was somehow managed by Hillary supporters. This should be fun. Try to use actual facts

    . . . . Not a very good answer.

    Perhaps you could explain why! Seems perfectly logical that if the American people reject both candidates having yhenparties try again would make a great deal of sense.

    Years of preparation and billions of dollars WASTED . . . FOR WHAT??? To widen even further the chasm of division between us that defies compromise?

    Billins of dollars are only wasted by the candidates and those that support them. The loss is no issue for the American people. And the for what is to get a President that at least a majority of the voters support. IF " none of the above " won it would mean the two candidates were totally unacceptable and that either would be totally incapable of running or uniting the country.

    The nominations were the people's choice, and this election has already taken a heavy toll on our nation. Maybe this will trigger election reform.

    I have no doubt the Republican Congress will pass most of Donald's agenda, including massive tax cuts for b/millionaires, elimination of inheritance taxes, elimination of the Department of Education, massive cuts in social safety nets, massive spending increases on the military.

    They'll probably give him a hard time on his cribbed promise to provide leave for child bearing.

    Are you sure that Republicans will hold their majority?

    Very likely for the House, less so for the Senate.

    No the nominations are not the peoples choice. You need to learn exactly how the primary system works. First it is a very small number of people that actually vote and second of course a large percentage of the delegates are appointed by party members. Do some research.

    Here's something to think about: Americans Continue to Want Political Leaders to Compromise


    http://www.gallup.com/poll/195707/a...utm_content=morelink&utm_campaign=syndication

    It's better to get 70%, 80% of what one wants and let the other party have 20% or 30% of what they want, compromise and kept thing moving forward than the today's "My way or the highway," approach. Where one party wants 100% or nothing and are unwilling to give the other party anything.

    I didnt say that, you did.

    I said hillary supporters looted the stock market, and I proved it.

    So thats probably why you cant understand.

    Reading is fundamental.

    Right and left extremism is the product of the political compulsion for partisans to radically disagree on everything.

    The choosing of delegates is an overly complicated process that differs between parties, but it essentially represents for the most part the choices of THE PEOPLE by state.

    Trump will demand more respect from Congress, because his voters mean more to Congress. Sorry, not to marginalize so much, but all the black people and single mothers who came out in droves to vote for Obama simply didn't mean much to a Republican Congress. Those groups and others will never support conservatives, so why should they placate them, let alone cater to them?

    Trump's voters, on the other hand, will include Democrats and young people and blacks who have already given up on BOTH parties, therefore the Congress had better take heed.

    It's not about race. It's about new voters with staying power. Obama's coalition has no staying power. It was for him only, the first black president, hip as (*)(*)(*)(*) and cool as a cucumber, who people were excited about. But that excitement hasn't, and won't ever, carry over to Hillary, or probably anyone else for that matter. That's why his voters didn't mean much, therefore not taken seriously by Congress.

    The Republicans did nothing if the sort and you can't cite them doing so.

    And ANYONE could work better with Congress than the incompetent fool we have in there.

    Which is why Obama failed, he could not would not work with his opposition. He was the one who told them that he won and elections have consequenses then insulted and berated them over and over.

    You forgot to mention that Trump is a military liability.

    That's what the article said, and even the SCOTUS opposed Obama.

    If the Dems aren't blaming George Bush they'll blame the Senate or Congress for this pathetic president. It's a damned shame there are people who can continue with this charade, despite the fool's record.

    Jonathan Capehart, Washington Post:

    "When the nation needed single-minded focus, the Republican political establishment put power over the national interest.

    So, the next time you hear Republicans and conservatives bloviating about the “failures” of the Obama presidency, remember the role they played in them. And remember how their resistance hurt the country they are elected to help govern."

    (No more biased than your own subjective analysis.)
